📖 3-Minute Story: Writing Your Way Into the New Year
I’m writing to you from a cozy chair in a beachhouse in Laguna Beach, California. The turquoise waves turn over themselves, impatient to kiss the shore.
The start of a New Year can create a lot of anticipation, and below I’ve curated my recent posts to help you ring in the New Year with abundance and a solid foundation for your writing career.
Every year, my life improves in big ways: whether that’s healing from my autoimmune condition, increasing my income, or finding my true community — I attribute each year’s steady upward trajectory to the groundwork I lay every December and January.
Intentions are what steer your ship to better waters: no matter where you are or how far you have to go, spend this last day of 2023 and the start of 2024 honoring your intentions and goals for the New Year — and your ideal life.
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and creative start to 2024! 🎉
